St. Mary's Secret Garden is a beautiful and accessible urban garden which hosts a community of expert horticulturalists and volunteers with years of experience. We offer a safe space where people with support needs and the local community can get hands-on experience of gardening, experience a sense of inclusion and receive the benefits of horticultural therapy. This helps those in need combat isolation, develop valuable employment skills and contribute to a greener, healthier, happier world.

Why the community needs us
We provide an urban green space for all to access. We provide therapeutic horticultural placements for people with learning disabilities, mental ill health and long term health conditions. We provide training in gardening and food growing to community groups and individuals. We run school weekly school gardening sessions for teenagers with learning disabilities. We sell our organically grown plants and produce to local people.

Our impact on the community
We reach dozens of people per week through the medium of horticulture. Young children and older adults alike enjoy and cherish the garden. We have proven wellbeing impacts please see our website for further details. We are regular award winners of the London in Bloom competition and the Green Flag Community Award. Our garden is open to all.
